re: mac os - I've got transparency working, albeit through a sort of backdoor. I'm using the amazing chunkwm as my window manager (tiling.. yum). I discovered recently that it had a plugin which allowed for dimming of inactive windows. A little searching yielded the fact that you can dim any window by app name, using this syntax in the .chunkwmrc file:
chunkc tiling::rule --owner Code --alpha .85 &
ymmv, as the window manager is probably overkill just to get transparency in vscode, but being that I was already running the window manager, it suited me just fine :) I should mention that obviously you can make any app transparent this way. The possibilities are endless!
I spent some time to get right name
Use app="Code" in case of VSCode

so when I went to install chunkwm I got recommended yabai instead so I installed it but the command :
apply to all windows got a clue on how to do it on a single app instead?
yabai -m rule --add app="Brave Browser" opacity=1.0from github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/blob/...
